1970s Wilhelm Eberle 4/4 German-made Violin

The label in this guy reads "Wilhelm Eberle" and it's a German-built instrument probably from the late '70s or early '80s. It's clean, well-built, and has a nice, even-sounding tone to it. Our bowed guy Andy went through it and set it up a few months ago but I forgot to get it listed on the site at the time. Oops!

For someone looking for a good, sturdy, solidly-built student instrument, this would do it. While the photos give it a ruddy tone, I think it's actually closer to the beige-honey-brown color seen in the video.

Repairs included: setup adjustments, minor seam repairs, and restring.
